2008 Vento V-Thunder XL

I bought Vento since 2010 and drove it while touring with KARAS MC. in conclusion this motorbike is very satisfying.

I bought my v thunder in sioux falls sd at darkness to light and have had it in the shop since day one they cant seem to figure out the problem when i call wong at the vento mfg he says its not his problem save yourself some heartache dont buy vento. I'm filinf complaints with the BBB and pursuing ... litigation on this matter

Priced at a reasonable cost, this bike is worth the bucks.

Unless you're buying this for gas savings/commuting (I get 80 mpg!), most riders will tire of the size quickly and long for something bigger and softer in ride.

This bike is a stiff ride, unless you set the shocks ... to a much lower adjustment. A softer, more comfortable seat would make this a five star purchase! I'm going to but a Gell seat cover and see if it improves the ride.

Also the 35/35 watt headlight is a little weak and fragile (100 hour life). Have a spare in the garage at all times. They are, however very cheap to buy at $1.99 (made by EIKO).

I am experimenting with placing a sealed beam (60/40 watt) unit in mine, although a standard 7" is too big by a few mm. I will attempt to grind down the glass perimeter to make it fit.
